So, there you go. Which reminds me: The probably most popular way to get LyX on Slackware is using the Slackbuild. Would the LyX project consider adding it to the website? => http://slackbuilds.org/result/?search=lyx&sv=all As you see, this is a link to a search on the page for all versions of Slackware, so it won't be necessary for you & me to update the link with a new Slackware release.
